ThePresent tells the story of the seasons using subtle gradients of pure color to mark the Equinoxes & Solstices throughout the year. This original wall clock takes an entire year to complete a single rotation using a first of its kind German-engineered annual movement.
ThePresent was made possible by 837 backers through a successfully funded campaign on Kickstarter in the Autumn of 2011. The funding allowed us to turn a one of a kind project into an original work of art.
The result is a beautifully designed timepiece, made in the United States and Germany from quality materials.
The annual hand magically 'sets itself' to the exact day you insert two AA batteries.
Your clock will be 1 of 2000 first edition timepieces.
The pixel perfect clock face features 16 million colors and was printed using six color processing in New York.
The Annual Hand fits perfectly through a small hole in the clock face for a design unlike any other clock.
The clock back plate is made of stainless steel with a radial brush finish, complete with custom tooling here in Brooklyn.
Custom embossing of 'ThePresent' stamped into the steel back here in New York.
The front of the clock features custom shaped dome glass designed in New York & fabricated in Virginia.
